Your new battery should be fully charged before it is used for the first time. Charging

time is normally between 4-5 hours. A fully charged battery delivers 3 hours of use.

Therefore, we recommend that you only charge the battery when the battery is down

to its last hour of charge or completely out of power. Unnecessary charging of the

Battery Pack will reduce service life. When the Battery Pack is being charged, the

battery indicator will turn red. After charging is complete, the red light will turn green.
